By and About Rex Stout

Click on a book cover to view an enlargement

Only by a tedious counting of words could anyone tell the difference between a full-length Nero Wolfe novel and one of the short novels for which Rex Stout has become famous.

Certainly, there is as much plot, as much action, as much characterization in any one of these three new novelettes as you will find in The Second Confession, The Silent Speaker, or nay of his other, longer novels.

In the case book of Archie Goodwin, the crime on which each of these stories is based must surely have been marked with a star, for each, in its own way, represents something new, now only to Rex Stout fans but to all mystery readers. There's the case of the couturier, in which high passion and high fashion march side by side. There's the case of the restaurateur, in which Archie, proving himself as able at deduction as Nero, spots a key clue and masterminds it all by himself. And the case of the horticulturist, in which Nero actually goes for a cross-country walk in the snow! - and all for the sake of his precious orchids.
